Whats the general consenus regarding peak time for levemir? Currently doing a split dose morning and evening. Attempting to reduce the 4am -mid morning BG climbs. I realise that it won't probably be possible to beat the dawn phenomenon without a pump but just reduce it would be good. I keep coming across conflicting info on the timing for levemir peaks. BG up to 4am ish is ok and steady enough so there is no rebound going on,
 
I only have quite small doses 5u before bed and i don't find there is a peak. HOwever, I find I can't take it earlier than 11pm otherwise I start to rise from about 5/6am onwards, so long as I take it at 11pm I'm ok. I then take my morning dose of 5/6u at 8am.
